WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
DownTownTheatre Company presents the world premiere of Daddy, written by Dan Via and directed by David Hilder.
Colin is a popular newspaper columnist with a knack for bedding the bi-curious hotties in his soccer league, but he's nevertheless starting to feel he's missed out on something deeper. Law professor Stew has a bad habit of settling, and has let a once promising career stagnate in a comfortable but unfulfilling rut. Enter Tee, a bright and intense 21-year-old man who sweeps Colin off his feet. Convinced the increasingly erratic younger man might be dangerous, Stew forces a confrontation that has unexpected and life-changing consequences. The hot-button issue of gay marriage percolates under Daddy, spurring long-time best friends Colin and Stew to really examine their relationship for the first time in 20+ years.

While the work is nominally a comedy, it wants to be a tragedy and bends a few plot details beyond their breaking points to get there.
The play focuses on weathered newspaper columnist Colin (Gerald McCullouch), who is romancing a 21-year-old African American intern named Tee (Bjorn DuPaty). Watching the situation is Stew (Via), a longtime lawyer friend of Colin's who is suspicious of Tee's motives and pushes things to an unexpected discovery -- a plot twist that is u[...]
